The multiplication of the loaves, Jesus' question to Peter to lead the church, the Sermon on the Mount in the Mount of Beatitudes all hapenned in areas surrounding the Sea of Galilee.
It all comes to life.

The Sea of Galilee
Arriving in Israel
We arrived into Ben Guiron airport at 5:30 local time today. The airport is 3 years old and looks like a museum.
We had an easy time retrieving our luggage and leaving customs. Our guide and driver were waitibg for us with our name on a sign. What a surprise for the kids when they found out we have a guide, van, and driver just for our famiy! We can't believe that we are actually here, on Jesus' turf!
Gabriel commented how much the terrain looks like Spain. No wonder Santiago was at home traveling there!
We are drving to the Sea of Galilee now where we will stay right on it, in the town of Tiberias.
Love to all.
